"Whew, whew". Mu Qinghe gasped and slowly pushed open the door in front of him, as expected, the room was empty, only the granite paved walls and floor, and the bluestone brick path extended to another door at the end of the room. Behind the other door, there is the same room, the same layout. Mu Qinghe was dizzy, feeling that he had entered a labyrinth from which he could not escape, or a ...... with no end Transmigration.

Mu Qinghe opened his eyes suddenly, looked around in horror, the sunlight shone into the room through the window, and sprinkled on the quilt with gold; The computer flashes a faint light on the desk; From time to time, there was a pleasant sound from the wind chimes on the door frame. Mu Qinghe patted his head vigorously, and it took a long time before he slowly came back to his senses, it turned out to be a dream.

Mu Qinghe exhaled a long breath, and was immediately surrounded by a huge sense of frustration, and failed the college entrance examination!

His dreams and pursuits seemed to have suddenly become a joke, and the big words of "college entrance examination query" on the computer and the string of miserable scores below stabbed his heart fiercely.

I don't know how long I cried last night, I don't even know when I fell asleep. Mu Qinghe struggled to stand up, opened the window gently, the cool wind in the morning pulled him into his memories, he was never a lucky child, he could be seen from the divorce of his parents when he was very young, his father went to a small town in the south to find a job, and there has been no news of him for a long time. The mother remarried to England and married a gentleman whom her mother considered to be the love of her life. The funny thing is that in their future life plans, they didn't list themselves and became a superfluous person. Although her mother pays herself a lot of money every year, she doesn't understand what she really wants!

The loneliness and bitterness of living alone for more than ten years can only be understood by those who have experienced it. He sighed and glanced at the mirror hanging on the wall. Self in the mirror: messy hair, thin body, eyes without a trace of color, and a face that has been ordinary for eighteen years. He didn't know how to live his life in the future, and when he thought of his college entrance examination results, a sense of powerlessness and frustration welled up in his heart.

If life could be lived from the beginning, he really wanted to die, end these eighteen ordinary lives, tear them into pieces and throw them into the water, and then scold handsomely.

But no!

Mu Qinghe felt that he was a stray dog, and he had mistakenly entered human society, and finally appeared in his original form under the blow of reality.

"Knock knock, knock knock". The knock on the door outside brought Mu Qinghe back to reality in a daze, Mu Qinghe glanced at the alarm clock at the bedside, who would come so early? He hurriedly put on his clothes and went to open the door in a panic.

"Liu Tingting?" Mu Qinghe was stunned, outside the door was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, her long hair in her shawl was full of youthful atmosphere, and her beautiful little face was full of smiles, she smiled sweetly at Mu Qinghe, "Good morning, at the same table." The corners of Mu Qinghe's mouth rose slightly, and the sorrow in his heart suddenly dissipated a little because of this girl's words, this girl was his high school tablemate and the object of his crush.

"Good morning, Tingting, come in and sit." Mu Qinghe hurriedly invited her to enter the door, Liu Tingting's face appeared a hint of blush, nodded, and casually pulled the broken hair blown away by the wind to her ears, if someone else was here, she must be very surprised, this girl's ears are pointed, not the half-moon shape of a normal person, like the ears of a mythical elf. Mu Qinghe has long been commonplace, and he also knows how much pain this pair of unusual ears has brought to this cheerful girl, and he endures the strange eyes of others every day, and he has endured it for more than ten years, Mu Qinghe suddenly has an urge to hug her, and his eyes are full of pity when he looks at her.

Entering the room, the two sat opposite each other, "At the same table, I was admitted." The smile on Liu Tingting's face became even richer, like a victorious female warrior.

"Congratulations, Tingting, which university do you want to apply for?" Mu Qinghe was happy in his heart, although he failed, he was really happy for her success.

"What about you, where do you want to report?" Liu Tingting looked at him with hopeful eyes.

Mu Qinghe's eyes darkened, and he smiled bitterly: "I didn't get in."

"How is that possible, really?" Liu Tingting was stunned and asked in disbelief. Seeing Mu Qinghe nodded, she suddenly didn't know what to say, and she didn't know whether to comfort him or encourage him.

She leaned on the table and looked at Mu Qinghe, and said seriously: "It's okay, you will definitely be able to pass the exam next time, I believe in you!" Mu Qinghe stared at Liu Tingting's big bright eyes and smiled freely, how much he hoped that this girl could always be by his side.

"Tingting, thank you."

"Tell me about you, which university do you want to apply to?" Mu Qinghe felt that although he didn't get in, he should participate in the whole process of this girl's voluntary application, what if he could be admitted to that school next year?

"My uncle called last night and he said that there is a famous private school in France that has a great career in plastic surgery and contouring, and it is now recruiting students, and he wants me to go there to take classes." Liu Tingting's uncle has an export garment trade factory, which is connected to France, so he has a deep understanding of France, and it is reasonable to make this suggestion, and Mu Qinghe knows that the real reason for Tingting's heart is to go there to find a way to treat her ears.

"What's the name of that university?"

"Berta Gate."

That night, Mu Qinghe had insomnia again, he lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, the pointer had already pointed to twelve o'clock, he jumped out of bed, turned on the computer, boarded the chat software, and skillfully clicked into a group, this group is Mu Qinghe's secret, lonely children have wonderful fantasies, they fantasize that the core of the earth's crust is inhabited by highly intelligent creatures, fantasize that there are all kinds of terrifying giant beasts in the depths of the ocean, and fantasize that visitors from the sky are doing experimental research in the forbidden area of life that human beings have not set foot in. These wild imaginations make children believe that there must be great mysteries in the world, and they are constantly looking for evidence of the existence of mysteries, collecting all kinds of bizarre videos and news, and these things that are incomprehensible in the eyes of adults are their greatest treasure.

Lonely children huddle together to keep warm, so there are group chats with names such as "Exploration Squad", "Pioneer", and "The Chosen One is Me", and then send some "In-depth Interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, Experts and Scholars Sweat in Cold Sweat", "Meteorites Fall from the Sky, Accidental Discovery of Alien Life", "Revealing the Truth of the Existence of Lizard People" and other hunting news, how many nights in the dead of night, "Mu Qinghe" are lying in bed studying these "secrets", they hope that they can be closer to the secrets, a little closer, Become the one-of-a-kind Chosen One, but they can't do anything but retract their frightened feet back into the quilt.

The name of the group chat that Mu Qinghe clicked in was called "Supernatural News Exchange Group (2)", and as soon as he came in, he was attracted by a news post sent by a little flower pig named Huifei, this group chat will be updated with more than 100 news every day, and the reason why this news attracted him was because the incident happened in France. He almost clicked in, it was a video, looking at the quality of the picture like a camera shot on the side of the road, on the country road at night, a truck crashed into the old man who was going in the opposite direction, but from the position on the left side of the old man, a light cluster moved quickly, at the last moment of the collision, the old man was coerced by the light ball to a safe position, a total of forty-six seconds of video, until the old man turned his head suspiciously. This video caused heated discussions in the group.

Sixteen years of professional raising: Well, from a professional point of view, this video has no PS traces, the content is smooth, there is no frame jamming problem, it seems that the maker is a master.

Flying Little Flower Pig: This is what I saw on the Internet over the wall, and the number of views of this video is very small, and few people watch it.

Sixteen years of professional raising: If that's the case, then I think it's like it's happening.

In the eyes of this group of lonely children, the video that no one pays attention to is most likely true, and they will compete to save it, and once the original video is deleted, then this sense of reality will rise exponentially in their hearts, and the video saved in their mobile phones will become precious evidence, and they will also become the focus of everyone's attention, and they will definitely call from the World Defense Force one night in the future.

"Hello heroic man, the video in your hand is an important basis for us to study extraterrestrial creatures, let us fight side by side for world peace!"

The group chat once again caused heated discussions.

Mu Qinghe kept repeating that video, and after watching it ten times, he came to a conclusion: France is dangerous, Tingting is dangerous, and he needs to protect Tingting to go to France.

This stupid kid thinks of himself as a dangerous Tingting, who goes to dangerous France, but there will be no danger of special medicine.

"Did you sleep, [question mark], [smiley]." Sending information.

Two seconds later, the pop-up window trembled, and Tingting replied to the message, "I haven't slept yet, at the same table." ”

Mu Qinghe suddenly became excited, I don't know if it was because his news was replied in seconds at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, or because he had just made the most heroic decision in his life.

"Did you go to France with anyone? I can accompany you if I can. "This time it's an exclamation mark and a smiley face.

After the news was sent, Mu Qinghe seemed to have exhausted all his strength, he immediately closed the page, crawled on the table and covered his eyes and didn't dare to look at it, but his ears quietly pricked up to hear the prompt sound.

When the prompt sounded, he raised his head and nodded nervously, "My dad asked me to fly by myself, and then I went to Paris to find my uncle, of course you want to come." Then Tingting sent a cute expression.

“Yes！” Mu Qinghe slapped his thigh hard and jumped up, he hurriedly replied to the message, "Then I'll go to Uncle Liu tomorrow and tell him about it, don't worry, Beauty Liu, your safety on this road will be handed over." After typing, Mu Qinghe read it carefully, he thought about it, changed the three words "Liu Beauty" to "at the same table", and then sent the message.

"Are you serious?" The message was quickly replied, followed by another, "You have to think about it, I thought you were playing around with me." ”

"Think about it, don't worry, I'll accompany you to report to Beltamen University."

"Really, you're so good at the same table, I'm actually quite afraid of going out alone." Liu Tingting's message replied quickly, it seemed that she was very happy, she was happy Mu Qinghe was also happy, he felt that his decision must be the most correct in his life.

After that, the two chatted a few more words, saying good night to each other, this night, Mu Qinghe slept very sweetly, the nightmare like the strange circle last night did not appear again, but from this moment on, the road that symbolizes fate has appeared at a fork in the road, and there are more and more, more and more complicated, like the branches on the head of a giant tree with dense annual rings. After that, the only way to stop the branches from branching is to cut down the giant tree.

Mu Qinghe trotted down to the first floor and knocked on the door of the family on the left, "Who!" From inside came the roar of a woman, signaling to the people that behind the door lived a very grumpy old woman. Hearing this voice, Mu Qinghe shuddered, even if he had listened to this voice for more than ten years, it still made him feel inexplicably empty, just like a little mouse who met the owner of the house by chance, and the first thing he thought of was always to escape.

The knock on the door unconsciously quieted down, "Grandma Wang, it's me." Mu Qinghe replied in a low voice.

The door opened, revealing the face of a kind old man, "Xiao Mu is here, come in, the old woman was still talking to you just now." ”

"Hello Grandpa Wang." Mu Qinghe looked at the old man who came out to open the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I still know that the dishes are cold, if you don't come again, you will eat them all." A thin old woman threw the plate on the table, glared at Mu Qinghe and said. Dudu is a pug raised by an old couple. Mu Qinghe smiled awkwardly and hurriedly sat down at the table to eat.

"Okay, old woman, you go and scramble an egg for Qinghe, Qinghe, you will accompany the old man to kill a plate after eating in a while." Grandpa Wang showed Mu Qinghe like a chessboard dazzling treasure, and Grandma Wang walked into the kitchen while muttering.

"At noon today, I killed Lao Liu and threw away his armor, he lost all his hearts and souls to me, didn't you see Lao Liu's face, he had less crescents than Bao Gong, and I laughed to death." Grandpa Wang slapped his legs and laughed.

Of course Mu Qinghe recognized this chessboard, this is another old man in the community, the chessboard was brought back to him by his son from abroad, usually the baby is not good, but he didn't expect to lose to Grandpa Wang, Mu Qinghe also laughed, the grandparents and grandchildren laughed back and forth, which immediately caused Grandma Wang's dissatisfaction.

She scolded inside: "Can chess be eaten as a meal? You are an old immortal, you have been serving you for half your life, you are with your chess relatives, how expensive the food is now, you idle guys must not know, this egg, he should put it in a box containing jewelry and put it on the counter to clearly mark the price, and then make a slogan, which says that the highest price will win, and this potato, is this still grown in the ground? I don't know, I think it's poured out with the urine of the gods! ”

The laughter immediately stopped abruptly, the grandparents and grandchildren were silent, Mu Qinghe hurriedly lowered his head to eat, and after a while, he raised his head to look at Grandpa Wang, just looking at him shaking his head and learning from Grandma Wang's appearance when she was angry, "Poof." Mu Qinghe was so amused that he spit out a mouthful of rice, but he happened to be bumped into by Grandma Wang, who came out with an egg......

"General!" Grandpa Wang was lying on the old chair and shaking the big pu fan, looking at Mu Qinghe with a proud face.

"No, no, I shouldn't have jumped off the horse, start over." Mu Qinghe took back the chess pieces that had been eaten.

Grandpa Wang was suddenly unhappy, "Stinky boy, do you dare to regret chess?" Even if you don't jump off the horse, you're going to lose, don't you see that my cannon is still here? ”

Looking at the grandparents and grandchildren in the dispute, Grandma Wang walked out of it with staring eyes, "The watermelon is in the basin, whoever wants to eat it will take it themselves, the sun is about to set, and I have to prepare dinner for you in a while, I owe you in my last life." ”

Grandma Wang was the director of education at a high school before she retired, and it is said that she was so glared that she didn't even dare to bark at the big wolf dog at the school gate. Mu Qinghe has been afraid of her since she was a child, as soon as she spoke, Mu Qinghe immediately turned back into a good baby, or the kind of kindergarten baby who made him dare not pout his ass when he opened his mouth.

Mu Qinghe brought out the basin containing watermelons, the dim yellow sun sprinkled warmly on his face, the old electric fan creaked overhead, Grandma Wang was knitting socks wearing reading glasses, Grandpa Wang touched his head with a few hairs left to study the chess game attentively, the puppy was sleeping quietly on the sofa, and the air was full of warmth.

"Grandpa Wang, eat watermelon." Mu Qinghe handed Grandpa Wang a piece of watermelon, and took out a piece and gnawed it slowly, "In a few days, I will accompany Liu Tingting to France to go to university." ”

Grandma Wang's hand knitting socks paused, and then continued to knit, "Well, I heard Tingting's father say it." ”

"Stinky boy, pay attention to safety on the road, go early and return early, old man, I'm still waiting to play chess with you."

"I told the principal of your school that when school starts, you can just report it. You're really stupid, if you can't pass the exam next year, don't read it, I'm running around for you at such an age, it's a shame. Grandma Wang said with hatred, looking at the socks in her hand as if she was resentful, and she pierced harder by stitch.

"Old woman, don't be unforgiving, the phone calls make you owe money, remember to pay the phone bill tomorrow." Grandpa Wang looked at Grandma Wang with a playful expression.

"You old immortal, I'll throw your things into the furnace and burn them sooner or later."

"You have to pay attention to your body." Mu Qinghe's voice was hoarse and he whispered.

Hearing his words, the old couple in the quarrel quieted down. After being silent for a while, Grandpa Wang suddenly patted Mu Qinghe's shoulder, "Hey, look up." Mu Qinghe raised his head, and the sky outside the window was full of burning clouds, reflecting the city golden.
